"Croeso i ddyfnderoedd fy isymwybod: Welcome to the depths of my subconscious. Shark Fishing in Wales is one man's odyssey to understand the land of his birth through anecdote, observation and reminiscence! By learning about his country, perhaps he can learn more about himself. A process of individuation which Carl Jung suggests we should all go through. Less assuming one nationhood and more working towards one nationhood before we become Independent." Daf Williams

- You have special prison camps for 'terrorist' prisoners. You do not treat them the same as the rest of the prison population. You do not use prison guards, you utilise army personnel. These are Prisoners of War. They are involved in an ideological war with the West and therefore you must afford them the rights of political prisoners. They can even be kept on prison ships or on islands off the mainland like the Alcatraz model. After all it is ON the British mainland that they have been radicalised or alienated and if their kith and kin wish to come and free them and repatriate them in a dinghy with an outboard motor then it would save a few quid in looking after them.
- You decommission women's prisons and you turn them into therapeutic centers where the emphasis is on healing and not on punishment. There will be cases where the crimes committed will require punishment but these will not be decided by a male judge in a red outfit and a grey wig with a wooden gavel.
- The emphasis in male prisons of whichever category should be on rehabilitation and not on punishment. Instead of 24 hour lock up and isolation in solitary confinement you reverse the psychology and you allow the prisoners to spend as much time as they can outside of their cell. Many need socialising not isolating further. Prison is compounding the damage caused already to the minds of these men from their earlier and younger lives. There will be a dearth of fruit pickers after Brexit. Prison Gangs could be shipped out to farms to pick fruit all day. They'll certainly sleep better than spending a day in the cell watching television.
There will always be exceptions to the above rules and in the cases of the most serious crimes then I would stop short at the Death Penalty but I would consider offering the prisoner a humane exit from this world as opposed to spending 'life' in a cell. Obviously this is where guilt has been proved beyond any reasonable doubt. Would some prisoners welcome the choice? because that then removes suicide watch and a wasting away in a cell at the expense of the tax paying one nation conservatives.

New Year, New Blog Post
You are dying for me to say something about Trump and Iran I know so I wont disappoint you. What an absolute twat of a bloke Donald Trump is. He will claim that the Iranian General had it coming, that he had blood on his hands but he needed a distraction from the Democratic Impeachment Proceedings and he got it. Now everyone is shit scared of the Iranian reprisal. They've said they are going to do it. On one of my many visits to Amsterdam in the old days when I was psychologically addicted to cannabis, I stood in Schipol Airport, in about 2004, looking out of a big window in my heightened state at what appeared to be a huge aircraft belonging to Iran Air and I remember being rather mesmerized and in awe and thinking then that these guys are the future.
Not that I want to give anybody any ideas but we haven't had a hijacking for a while. Hostage taking is always a media circus.Those of us of a certain vintage will remember the Iran Hostage Crisis of 1979 -1981 I don't think US citizens will be putting themselves in harms way but perhaps they will be in particular danger in African countries where Islamic Militants are particularly active. It is unlikely that Iran will be as nasty and underhand as ISIL and carry out the waiting game of guerrilla warfare on the European mainland but who knows this might be an opportunity for the Islamic World both Sunni & Shia to bury their differences and take on the cancerous West. The great American empire is crumbling from within and with a Walt Disney Cartoon Character as its President it can only be a matter of time before the rides at Disney World and Disney Land grind to a halt. This conflict is going to be a difficult one for American and UK citizens because we know who the bad guy is and it isn't the Iranians. The world has not been the same since 9/11. That was the tipping point. The global psyche shifted after that and even though we pretend to get on with our daily mundane existences many of us have that gnawing, intuitive feeling that some man made disaster is about to befall us. Oh and Happy New Year!
The fact is, the poet does not want admiration, he wants to be believed.
